Armstead Grades????

I think our offense problems has been the inability of the LT to protect Brees long enough, when the LT comes through, you get the result seen today.

I am hoping that is something being built on for the post season where the Saints can go on a tear, wishful thinking to win 3 straight playoff games on the road......but much more silly things have happened.

Actually the biggest problem is Brees inability to step up in the pocket when the rush is coming around from LT. In the past Brees would just step up to avoid the rush but with DLP being pushed back he can't which makes it look like the main problem is LT when it is interior line fault.

Exactly. That is why I say De La Puenta needs to be replaced. You always build your O-Line from the middle out. We have two pro bowl Guards in Grubbs and Evans. We don't have to have a pro bowl Center but we need one who is more effective in the run game and can hold his own in pass blocking. You can always find a good Center in the draft, the position is never really over valued.

Danno and TheOak like this.
